Anybody hungry?

Ok, so for those that know me, somewhat well, you know I am a steak and taters girl. I've never loved veggies, fruits, or fish. Give me a T-bone steak and baked potato any day! Well, once in a while, I get a wild hair and decide to be adventerous. Shockingly, I love Sushi. Now, if you grew up in Ferron and said, "Lets go have Sushi for dinner" you would run into to major problems. 1) 99.9% of us Ferron-ites would say "What's Sushi?" and 2) there aren't any Sushi restaurants for 250 miles. There might be one a little closer, but it would probably not be one I would risk eating at. So, when I discovered my love for Sushi I passed it onto my family and friends who all get that look on their face, you know, the once you pull right before you hurl. Anyway, so I haven't been out for Sushi for a while. Hayden LOVES to be adventurous when it comes to food. His mission changed him in SO many ways, and his love for strange and weird eats is a major change. Last night we took a quick brisk walk to Takashi for dinner. It was FABULOUS! Anyone looking for a great Sushi meal, GO... GO NOW! We had an amazing "Fish and Chips" dinner (which is NOT the standard fish n chips, it's broiled, breaded salmon). We also had a strange "deconstructed california roll" which wasn't my favorite, but still interesting. We also LOVED the crispy ebi roll. YUM! Anyway, I wanted to post this recommendation. And family, get ready, put them overalls in the drawer and get up here so I can take you out to Takashi! YUM!

It's been a while....

Since I've posted a blog. It's like journal writing for me. I do really well for a while and then I just forget about it. I have killer slacker instincts, it's something I have fought with my whole life and I have to continually push myself to keep going with something I've started. But, I am remaining faithful and I will keep this blog alive dang it!
Is it just me or does anyone else just absorb and love the change of seasons? As the trees are changing I realize how much I love fall. It's one season that I actually get really excited for. It almost sedates me. I feel relaxed and cozy. I flash forward to the upcoming Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas Holidays and get so excited as they are filled with many Birthdays and family get togethers. This year is especially cool as a new little but very big addition will be coming to our family. It makes this fall season just that more exciting. On top of the newest addition, we will have the return of a very important family member. Brooks will be coming home to us on the 19th of November and we are all so anxious to squeeze him. What an amazing man he has turned into. The emails never cease and they always have me repeat the same phrase in my mind "is this still Brooks?" It's amazing how the service of the Lord refines these young men and turns them into righteous men. Two people, that I have been waiting to see, I will be able to squeeze just within a couple weeks of each other.
I keep thinking about our growing family. I think about how Lauren and Paityn are going to be such good big sisters. I think about nuzzling and loving this new little baby. One of my GREATEST joys of my life has been loving and sharing my life with my little girls. I love being with them, teaching them new things, and being their favorite aunt :). I just get overwhelmed with gratitude when I think of the immense blessing of having another.
Hayden is doing so well is Price. He is really loving it there. It's made this whole process so much easier. I'm not saying its been easy, but it lightens the load when you know someone that you love and admire and think about minute in and minute out is happy and successful and really loving what they are doing. I am so proud. I really think sometimes I am the proudest wife on earth. Never mind the school aspect, I am just so proud of my husband. He is so amazing in every way. I have no problems gushing over such a wonderful man.
I leave you will lots of happy fall wishes. Take a drive up the canyon, its amazing! More pictures are coming soon.....
